One year into Trump’s administration
was marked by a government shutdown,
millions of Women’s Marchers in the streets
& more women running for office than ever before.

Mueller’s ready to talk to Trump,
another GOP member of Congress resigns
& Paul Ryan won’t even commit to running.

Yet Dems back down in the shutdown,
give the votes for Trump’s wiretapping power
& approve an HHS head who hates the ACA,
while refusing to call Trump racist
over continued attacks on immigrants.

Dems can’t stick out a shutdown
and won’t tell Trump to shut up,
but Dreamers won’t be kept down
and the Resistance will continue to speak up
as the parties try to keep up
& Trump's team tries to hush up.

It’s year two of Trump in Washington,
year two of the Resistance —
and both parties are still figuring out
when to shut down, stand up,
keep their head down, shut up,
pay hush-up, or just rise up.

Trump and Kim Jong-un wage a war over
who has a bigger button & smaller brain,
and wage it through state propaganda
and nuclear threats on Twitter.

Breitbart fans see mommy & daddy fight
as Trump & Bannon torch each other
in a very entertaining sideshow,
either distracting us from Trump's warmongering
or which Trump will warmonger to distract us from.

They said it couldn't be done,
but a civil rights champion,
buoyed by huge Black voter turnout
just narrowed the Senate gap
by winning in deep red Alabama.

The GOP's tippy-top priority—
to cut taxes for corporations and the 1%—
should be sailing through Congress.
Yet each version's less popular than the last
and there's a chance to beat this tax scam.

Women who have made credible accusations
of Trump's sexual assault and harassment
had been sidelined by bully Trump—
and now 70% of Americans believe
these allegations deserve an investigation.

As Trump's unpopularity soars,
as Mueller's investigation circles,
as Trump's admin & party are torn apart
by infighting, retirements, and indictments,
suddenly anything could be possible:
from Dream to a 2018 wave to impeachment.

Our dreams used to have
a snowball's chance in Hell.
Now let's say we have
a snowball's chance in Alabama ...
& reserve the space in Hell for others.

The winter is dark, but it's a season of light,
so warm up with hot conversation
at your local progressive social club.
